Since i'm a tic over 200 lbs I had to have the suspension resprung ( much thanks to Nick @ Valley Ducati Service). I'd say a must for anyone over 130 lbs  Grin

Racetech internals (springs, valves) on the front end and new spring on the rear. Now a much better ride with plenty of adjustability- stock front end was max'd out on preload before internal swap.

what rate rear spring did you get?  i am 215 w/ gear and plan on re-spring-ing soon.

Thanks for the kind words guys.  waytogo


I assume you have the matching Arai helmet?

 Yes, yes I do.  Grin

 The paint on the bike is actually a loose interpretation of the helmet. I saw a review from one of the Euro bike mags a few years ago and saw the Italian flag helmet and I had to have it.

Okay, seriously, your bike is in 9 kabillion threads on the board.  When are we just going to make it a sticky?  Smiley

 Hey, I only provide when I'm asked.  Roll Eyes

 The sticky idea does have some merit though.  Grin

No problems with my suspension either.  Wink



No seriously get the right spring rate it makes a big difference.  Then get some ohlins.  Also makes a nice difference.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.
